Darkwell is the name of a gothic metal band from Innsbruck, Austria. Formed in 1999 by bassist Roland Wurzer and guitarist Roman Wiencke. Solitude drowns our souls – hearts are freezing, longing für warmth – despair covers everything – suddenly: a small red glooming flame breaks through the darkness, awakes us with a kiss and relieves our pain – guides us into the sweet embracement of the night. Darkwell is the celebration of the dark sensualism”

Darkwell was born early 1999, with the aim and motivation to create alive and profound Gothic Metal. All the bandmembers are experienced musicians. They know well how to inspire liveliness in their music, resulting in strong compositions and mature arrangements.

DARKWELL Reviews

DARKWELL are an Austrian band who have released two studio albums and an EP over a five year period. This is their debut from 2000 and most feel this is their best recording by far. We get female vocals that are very good and the music is dark with fairly heavy guitar throughout. It does seem kind of samey but this was love at first listen for me. We get male spoken words at times and the lyrics are what you'd expect in this genre of music, in other words depressing, negative and dark. Hey if your into that Gothic style i would definetly recommend you check this one out. A fine debut.
